GAP "Resource" is betting on meat processing

The KGP occupies an area of ​​2.2 hectares, more than 7 billion rubles were spent on the project, the plant is capable of producing 10 thousand tons of MEAT products monthly. Experts note the convenient location of the plant in terms of deliveries to the regions of RUSSIA and for EXPORT , and a ten-day reserve of storage volumes of products in excess of 3 thousand tons. Products can be shipped simultaneously to 87 loading points for refrigerated containers.

GAP "Resurs" is the leader in the Russian market in the production of broiler chicken meat. Last year, Viktor Nuruzov's holding produced 1.07 million tons of this product.

In recent years, Resurs has been actively buying up bankrupt producers. In 2023-24, GAP included: Tokarevskaya Poultry Farm, Belaya Ptitsa Holding, Samara Broiler Group of Companies, Zelenchuksky Breeding Farm, Agro-Innovative Commonwealth Ferma Rosta (AISFeR), and Shuvalovo Group of Companies. Resurs' investments in these enterprises saved them from being sold off piecemeal during bankruptcy with the destruction of the existing business.

Thanks to the activities of Viktor Nauryzov's Resurs and other agro-industrial holdings, Russia is now fully self-sufficient in meat. In 2024 , meat production grew by 1.8% and reached a record 16.9 million tons in slaughter weight, with per capita consumption of all types of meat amounting to 83 kg. At the same time, the growth in meat production has outpaced the growth in meat consumption in recent years, meaning that an increasing share of meat was sold to the population in the form of semi-finished products. The graph shows the dynamics of semi-finished meat product production since 2019 (according to summer 2024 data).

Dynamics of production of semi-finished meat products, thousand tons

Last year's results turned out to be better than expected - the volume of production of semi-finished products with poultry meat increased by 4.7%, setting a record of 4.9 million tons. The production of sausages increased to about 2.5 million tons, or by 1.6%, even the production of canned meat increased by 1.9% (to 913 thousand tons), although with the abundance of chilled and frozen meat on the shelves, it was logical to expect a decrease in demand for canned goods.

The production of chilled broiler meat products has grown the most over the past five years – by 88%. Nauryzov's GAP Resurs responded to the growth in the share of semi-finished meat products by buying up meat processing assets. Among the largest of the recent acquisitions are Vladimirsky Standard, which produces more than 5 thousand tons of sausage and meat products per month, including deep-frozen ones, and the Tsaritsyno group of companies, which includes three plants with a total capacity of about 10 thousand tons of products per month. Thanks to the new assets, in 2024 Viktor Nauryzov's holding increased the production of semi-finished poultry products by 228.9%, the company's revenue grew by 36%, or 71 billion rubles.

The emergence of meat processing and related logistics enterprises in the assets of the Nauryzov Group strengthens the vertical integration of the holding's capacities, which is in line with the trend of recent years. In the eternal dispute over the advantages of vertical and horizontal integration, the former turned out to be, at least in agriculture, more profitable in the conditions of unstable markets and fluctuating exchange rates. For example, the strengthening of the ruble against the DOLLAR in the US by 37% since January has put wheat producers in a difficult position. In 2024, the profitability of grain was about 20%, and this year even in the regions of the Black Earth Region it fluctuates from 0% to 6%. Today, not only wheat producers have problems, the usually high profitability of sunflower oil exports has become negative, and producers are reducing production and shutting down oil extraction plants. Only companies with good financial resources and a high degree of business diversification, which GAP fully possesses, can survive market fluctuations.
